Together We Save!

TWS! is a group of volunteers dedicated to helping the cats and kittens of Warren and Centerline, Michigan. We provide TNR assistance, community education, and of course shelter cats in need.
A large part of the work we do is TNR. Very few of the community cats we trap are friendly. We temperament test every cat we trap, and if they're feral they are returned. Most of the colonies we work on have caretakers, so despite being outdoors they do have food and shelter.

This is true! It's our goal to get as many cats into homes as we can but there are times when we have nowhere to put them. If we're full and can't find another rescue to take them, friendly cats sometimes have to be TNR'd. We record these cases and go back for them when we have room.

Eartipping is required for TNR. It allows us to see at a distance that the cat is already fixed. It's done under anesthesia and immediately cauterized. It doesn't affect the cat's quality of life, and saves them being transported and anesthetized again unnecessarily.
